Abstract: At present, it is in the transition period from soil genetic classification to taxonomy classification. Limestone soil, compared with other zonal soil, it is special, due to the characteristics of itself. So, it will be more complex when we carry out by soil properties in taxonomy classification. This paper analyzed on genetic characteristics of limestone in South of China, summarized its main diagnostic horizon and diagnostic characteristics. Then,several research priorities were proposed: First, realize the process of geologic evolution and ecological environment, it is necessarily to taxonomy classification of limestone soil in South of China. Of course, in the mean time, we should apply modern instrument for searching and testing. Finally, in Karst area, it is very common about commerce favored ideology. So, fine recognition is necessary in Anthrosols. All the above, it is useful and essential for sustainable utilization of limestone soil in Karst area in South of China.
